About this statute

This provision says the law applies to estate administration for deceased persons and certain surviving-spouse estate splits, and it sets local court rules, reporting duties, and ministerial rulemaking powers. Relatives must provide information about the estate they know, and people holding the deceased’s assets must keep them safely until the estate’s treatment is decided. After a death, lawsuits and enforcement against the estate are generally blocked until the estate’s treatment is decided, with some secured-claim and auction-related exceptions. The section also gives the Minister of Justice and the probate court powers over estate administrators and temporary administration. This section allocates estate costs, sets rules for legacies and heirs, and gives the probate court powers to appoint a guardian or order boudlæg in small estates. Section 104 says the spouse must notify the estate’s creditors when the estate is delivered, and it gives the probate court and the Minister of Justice certain powers about estate handling and annual value adjustments.
